Man charged after Philly officer dragged 3 blocks

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities have identified the man who they say dragged a Philadelphia police officer three blocks during a traffic stop.

The district attorney's office says 20-year-old Naim (nie-EEM') Woodley was arraigned Monday on charges including aggravated assault and resisting arrest.

Authorities say Woodley was involved in an incident that began shortly before 7:30 p.m. Sunday in north Philadelphia.

Police say an officer reported hearing someone screaming in a car, and went to speak with the vehicles' two occupants. Officials say the driver hit the accelerator and dragged the officer three blocks before he was able to let go.
